Varadero was very good stay. This was my third time there, I will definitely come back. Location is perfect, very close to beach, on the main street in village, convenient in all aspects. They also have arrangements with other hotel right on the beach, so as guest of Varadero, you can use sunbeds and umbrella on the beach.

Also stuff is amazing (hotel and restaurant), helpful, I love to come to a place where people welcome you with smile and positive attitude. Regarding the room, it was quite big, king bed, clean, nice neighborhood, no noise. Being here for the third time, I had opportunity to stay in 3 different rooms, I never had any complain. They also have lovely garden, with siting area and lot of greenery. Thank you guys for making my stay pleasant.

Place is in Kendwa, thus Kendwa beach it is around 6 min walk, also very close to Kendwa main restaurant street.

Kendwa Rocks Hotel, hotel in Kendwa

Located on Kendwa Beach and surrounded by lush gardens, Kendwa Rocks Hotel offers rooms and suites with views of the Indian Ocean or the garden. Zanzibar Town is 1 hour drive away.

The only one good point is which Kewda hotel is in a good place.. the beach doesn’t hit of the lower tide so it is possible to bath whenever you want. Another good point is for Abdul the manager for trip ans transport, he is kind and available, also for good price. I discovered an lactose allergy 3 months ago and I wrote Kewnda rocks for providing for me some foods lactose free but although the hotel pleased me with an email in which there was written that for my meals there will not be not a problem, I have had lots of problem for my meals order. On 7 days, for 5 breakfast I have been problem . For 5 breakfast I eat some pancakes, made only with wheat flour and water, was terrible. I paide to eat wheat and water? I worried for my boyfriend and me because all breakfasts were been terrible and longer. Not good for the people that would like relaxing and enjoying in front of the ocean. When we tried to share oir proble the waiters seemed teasing us… this was been impression. Finally I know Chef Dewa who helped me for my last 2 breakfast. He preparated for me muffins and pancakes lactose free. The hotel is available to keep our language and allow us to have a shower after the check in.

    In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location.

    In general, the hotel was okay, with an excellent location. However, there were some issues to address: The breakfast had a good variety of food, but unfortunately, warm items were cold. When I requested my sausages to be reheated, they were returned cold, accompanied by a surprised question about wanting them hot. It would be better if the staff anticipated the preference for warm breakfast items. The bed was so uncomfortable, causing back pain every morning. I tried all sides of mattress, and anyways there was a pit regardless of the position. This might be specific to only my bed, but it needs attention. The restaurant offers good food at reasonable prices, and the waiters speaks good English and are polite ( except trainees) Cleanless! Room was clean and tide, but there were several diferent bugs around, but its Africa, you just need to ask to spray your room for bugs (i asked but they never did) and you need to ask for wc paper and ask for clean towels. Water pression in the shower and hot water was very good. Unfortunately AC didnt wor for last 2 nights. I guess a gas just finished, but noone came to check on it, just excuses about low voltage. Well, when voltage was low even fridge was not working, bet when voltage restored AC and fridge worked excellent. Water got frozen in the fridge in 1h - so thats not a low voltage at all. Despite the issues, I tought I would consider to come back, but after last 2 nights struggles, I doubt about it. Particularly I would suggest a room with a sea view and small private pool, keeping in mind that perfection may not exist in every aspect, especially in a place like Zanzibar.

    The internet is going to tell you Kendwa has the most beautiful beach in Zanzibar....it has not....not at all....yes, the beach is nice and wide and white.....but there is no vegetation at all, it's full of sunbeds and umbrellas from the resorts/hotels....way to many traders and not much to offer than going up and down, only to then retreat to your hotel or some place with shade....if you come here for drinks or a party, fine, but don't waste all of your vacation here, when there are many other cheaper and more beautiful places on the island...

    Kendwa beach in its self is one of the best I have been too and I have been a regular beach traveller worldwide for the last 40 years. The only advice I would suggest would be to vet the hotel thoroughly as sunseabar was not upto standard it advertised. Go out into local restaurants we tried 4 different ones all were superb so far superior to the hotel

    Serene grounds, welcoming staff and very courteous to clientele. Food was good (seafood) and the rooms are superb ( got an ocean view facing the tennis court. Need more African entertainment for guests at night though!

    Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach!

    Clean, small and quiet guest house right on the beach! They welcome you with a delicious fresh tropical juice! It is nice to see local people and fishermen living just next door. In the other hand thou, the front sea is full of boats that make swimming a bit complicated. The staff is very kind. Rooms are sober but clean and furnitures are nicely wooden. Breakfast is in range(no buffet, no choice) but good. Very much recommended place. I would definitely return there.

    Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday.

    Kendwa is the perfect beach holiday. This is the only area bot effected by tides. The beach is wonderful and offers great places to eat. Kendwa rocks offers a great BBQ with live entertainment on Saturdays.

    Very large property with amenities such as volleyball playground. Staff was brilliant. Many beach beds to choose from. European room standards - very good ventilation, isolating materials. I’ve stayed in a couple other hotels in Zanzibar for 100$ a night which looked more authentic, more African, but after a while one could feel a humid and conversations of neighbours. That was only hotel I slept well. That’s nice to see wooden huts on the beach, not necessarily staying in overnight 😇

    The location is excellent , right next to the best beach in Zanzibar . There are several cheap local restaurants and a liquor store next to the hotel. Spacious rooms with a fridge. European style bathroom. Very clean. Nice helpful service. It's very safe here. Breakfast served on the top floor in the hotel restaurant is sufficient (fruit, tea, coffee, juice, eggs). The owner is friendly and communicative. You can pay by credit card. Wifi works flawlessly.

    The stay at Pumzika was perfect for us, we had an amazing week. The house is just a 2 minute walk from the Kendwa beach, and many good restaurants nearby. Mustafa was an excellent host helping us get the most out of our time in Zanzibar. Thank you!

    Location in the best beach in Zanzibar 😊 The room is ok… a bit far away from the beach, but ok. The room is good, clean, but we were missing in bathroom some hangers for towels and things. Food in Restaurant is very good and tasty.
